Capo on 2 Intro =    verse 1 Well your girlfriend takes you round to her house and you meet her folks But they say that your hair’s too long and you’re not their kind of bloke They grab you by the collar and they throw you through the door   You don’t have to be in the army to fight in the war          verse 2 Well you’re working very hard to get promotion at your job But arrive late one morning just because you missed the bus The foreman says You’re fired ’cause your punctuality’s poor You don’t have to be in the army to fight in the war          verse 3   Then you go into a hotel to get put up for the night But they say that you can’t stay there just because your shirt ain’t white You’re tired and you’re hungry and you cannot walk no more   You don’t have to be in the army to fight in the war Music only as per verse chords                                      verse 4 Ain’t no money ain’t no woman ain’t no roof above your head So you lay down in the park and you wish that you were dead The fuzz says you are trespassing and kicks you in the jaw   You don’t have to be in the army to fight in the war                   Outro The fuzz says you are trespassing and kicks you in the jaw   You don’t have to be in the army to fight in the war You don’t have to be in the army to fight in the war  (to fade)

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le combat que mènent des individus dans leur vie quotidienne, souvent confrontés à des jugements et des difficultés. Les protagonistes vivent des situations où ils se retrouvent rejetés, que ce soit par la famille de leur partenaire, leur employeur ou même dans des lieux d'hébergement, leur mettant constamment des obstacles sur le chemin. Le contexte de cette chanson semble refléter une réalité sociale, où les luttes personnelles ressemblent à celles d’un champ de bataille. Les paroles mettent en lumière la marginalisation et l’abandon que ressentent ceux qui n'ont pas de place dans la société, soulignant que l’on n’a pas besoin d'être soldat pour affronter des combats quotidien.
